Congressman Frank Pallone and Assemblyman John Wisniewski, who chairs the Democratic State Committee, addressed approximately 125 seniors who came. U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez spoke by phone while on his way back from Washington D.C. on an early morning train.

Girl Scout leader Dot Figueroa and Democratic City Committee Chair Leslie Dominguez Rodriguez stand with girls who volunteered to help serve Perth Amboy seniors at an event sponsored by the party organization and Grace Lutheran Church.

“Special thanks to Pastor H. Wayne Brady of Grace Lutheran Church in Perth Amboy and retired Middlesex County Freeholder Jane Brady for hosting this wonderful event for our seniors,” said Perth Amboy Democratic Chair Leslie Dominguez Rodriguez said. “It is always nice to know that I can reach out to Democrats in our community when I can’t rely on our current Mayor who calls herself a Democrat. She showed up towards the end of the event after the Congressman and Assemblyman were already gone to shake hands.”

Dominguez Rodriguez stressed to the seniors that “the real Democratic team is President Obama/Biden, Senator Menendez, Congressman Pallone and Middlesex County Freeholders Ron Rios and James Polos along with Surrogate Kevin Hoagland.” She also reminded the audience that five Democrats are running for mayor.

The Perth Amboy junior and teen Girl Scouts helped out with the breakfast to earn their senior community service badges. Also volunteering were the Women of the Moose and many Perth Amboy Democratic Committee members.
